Last Updated on July 25, 2024 by Prissila Murillo

There is so much information out there when it comes to skincare, makeup, and even nails, but the story isn’t the same for hair. Hair is so different for each person depending on their environment, genetics, and so much more. Hair is also something that takes three months to regrow and repair; this contrasts with skin, which can be repaired in just a few weeks.

With all of that uncertainty and time, it takes for you to repair your hair, things can get very overwhelming. Luckily, Olaplex is here to save the day. They make some of the best hair care items available in Sephora.

Olaplex has done a great job with making a variety of different products that are easily identifiable by their purpose along with how you can incorporate them into your routine. We are going to dive into some of the best products offered by Olaplex that can help repair and nourish your hair.

Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector

The No. 3 Hair Perfector is a concentrated treatment that strengthens the hair from within. This treatment helps reduce breakage while improving its look and feel. It is not, however, a conditioner. Instead, this is an at home treatment that is full of ingredients that are found in all of the professional Olaplex products.

This product is so easy to use. You leave it for 10 minutes and then follow up with your regular shampoo and conditioner. This is so easy to throw in your hair while you shave, wash, exfoliate, or go about any other steps in your shower routine for the day. This product leaves the hair feeling so soft and voluminous. For the next few days, you’ll have beautifully soft, strong hair.

Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo

This shampoo is a highly moisturizing formula that works to repair hair, so it is easy to manage, shiny, and healthier after every single use. What’s so amazing about this shampoo is that it is formulated without any of the over 50 ingredients many shampoos use that are typically not so good for your hair.

This shampoo is going to help reduce frizz and flyaways while maintaining the bonds within your hair. All you’re left with is smooth and visibly healthier hair that will have everyone asking what your secret is.

Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner

Of course, if you pick up the No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, you’re going to want to get the conditioner as well. This product delivers some of the same great benefits to help seal the deal with your hair care routine. This conditioner is going to work to help repair damage like split ends and frizz by re-linking the broken bonds. While adding shine to your hair, this conditioner is going to leave hair feeling stronger than ever. The shampoo and conditioner can both be used on color treated hair as well.

Olaplex No 6 Bond Smoother 

This is a leave-in reparative styling cream that will help eliminate frizz and style your hair. It is a must have product if you are struggling with dehydrated hair that seems to not be able to be tamed no matter how hard you try.

This styling crème is also going to help hydrate your hair while speeding up blow dry times. The crème promises to have your hair frizz free for up to 72 hours as well. If you’re someone who dreads days where you have to wash and style your hair, then this is going to make your life so easy. Not having to blow dry as much and as often can really help with making your hair even healthier, since you’re not using as much heat on it as you usually would.

Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil

This is a very highly concentrated, lightweight, and reparative styling oil. Oils are a great way to add more nourishment to your hair care routine. If you get the right kinds of oils that are lightweight, you can add all different kinds of benefits without weighing down your hair and making it overly greasy. This particular oil is used to protect color, fight frizz, and provide heat protection.

Some of the key ingredients help find different bonds in the hair that can be broken by everyday wear and tear by brushing and using heat. Many different vitamins rich in anti-aging compounds help nourish the hair as well as other oils work to help the feeling of your hair. This oil is just perfect at nourishing the hair and repairing all of the damage from your everyday busy life.

Olaplex No. 0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment

You’ve heard of primers for your makeup right? Well, Olaplex has released a primer for your hair. This works perfectly when paired with the No. 3 Hair Perfector. Primers for makeup are usually used to prep the skin and help with some of the skin concerns you might have. Think of this product the same exact way. After days of not washing, there tends to be a lot of build up and tangles in the hair. The texture is usually different as well too.

The No. 0 Bond Building Treatment works to help repair the hair from all of the environmental, mechanical, and other forms of damage that you have experienced in between your washes. If you feel like you tend to have a lot of breakage when you start to wash and style your hair, then this product could be very beneficial for you.

The Bottom Line

From the few products that we looked into, you can see that all of the Olaplex products have something in common. They are all working to try and repair and build the bonds of your hair. Olaplex made sure they were going to release products with the best ingredients to repair your hair for some gorgeous styling.

And one thing that is consistently great about this brand is the lack of harmful ingredients. The lack of these harmful ingredients also leaves room for more beneficial ingredients that are going to help your hair be the best it can be.

Trying out hair care products can be time consuming, since it usually takes about three months to see results due to the life cycle of our hair. Luckily, most of these products last you a long time, so you won’t have to repurchase them during this trial period. In our opinion, Olaplex is worth it because there’s a good chance you’ll see really noticeable results in the long run.
